This week we are looking at whether our prayers truly make any difference at all or is it the same as a person sharing good vibes.2020-07-2340 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchHow To Measure My WisdomTrue wisdom is not so much measured by how much knowledge a person has, but rather the depth of their character.2020-07-1532 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchThe Power Of WordsOver the years much of the change we’ve seen or experienced has been precipitated by people’s words.

Can we keep putting one foot in front of the other? I’m thankful the Bible isn’t only full of stories about the good times, because sometimes life doesn’t feel all that good and I need encouragement, hope, direction, and survival tips. James addresses the hard times in this week’s message.2020-06-1740 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchWho's This James Guy?Do you ever wonder if you waited too long?

This week we are going to talk about what that means for us.2020-06-0236 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchI Am AdoptedSatan is a liar. Sometimes he will give you names that God hasn’t given you. You then start listening and accepting these names, names like failure, loser, worthless. They usually aren’t positive names since what is good comes from God. This week we are going to look at another one of the things God affirms in us as Christians. What does it mean we he tells us we are adopted?2020-05-1925 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchI Am UnitedAs Christians, we are a part of the same family. Like our earthly families, there are a lot of differences, but, in spite of those differences, we are expected to stand united.2020-05-1236 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchI Am LovedLove is a word that gets thrown around in a variety of different ways. We love a certain food. We love our significant others. We love things like music, reading, camping, fishing, cooking, the Vikings, etc. The word love is used for a lot of situations, so what does it mean when God says he loves us and, specifically, what does that mean for me?2020-05-0430 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchI Am ForgivenDo you ever feel like you have done something so bad it would be hard or impossible to forgive? Or maybe it’s the opposite and you feel pretty good about life and don’t have anything “bad” you need forgiven for.

Do you understand the role of all those rules in the Old Testament? Do you wonder if they all still apply to you? And if that isn’t what God expects, what does he expect?2020-04-2125 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchBecause Of JesusEaster is the time when we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection after taking on himself the wrongs of all humankind. It is because of what Jesus did, we can be forever changed. It is because of what Jesus did, there is hope in a world of uncertainty. He is risen. He is risen indeed!2020-04-1425 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchFaithfulDo you ever wish you could do something amazing for God? Maybe something that would impact the world…or at least your entire community? Something that would get you noticed. You’re not alone. What if God is asking you to do something equally challenging, but not as attention grabbing? Would you do it? Join us this week as we see Enoch’s example of doing one not-so-flashy thing well.2020-04-0633 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchExtreme ChangeDo you feel average? Maybe worse than that, you feel insignificant.As we continue our look at Heroes Of The Faith, we are going to be checking out the life of Rahab. We will see how God used someone who many would have said was insignificant to impact all of eternity.2020-03-3129 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchA Faith Beyond One's LifeBen Franklin once said, “but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”The reality is, one day we will all die, so this week we are looking at how God’s plan for you is much bigger than you and your lifetime.This week we will be talking about the life of Joseph, who believed God to be a God who keeps his promises.2020-03-2436 minThe Rescue ChurchThe Rescue ChurchSometimes I Don't UnderstandAbraham didn't have to understand what God was doing, to follow where he was leading.
